PROC INFOMAPS immideately ends with error

k0ky4 — Fri, 02 Jun 2017 14:40:45 GMT

Good day everyone,

I'm trying to run PROC INFOMAPS but even the simpliest of them fails with this error:

ERROR: The procedure was unable to initialize the IMAP subsystem: rc=0

The only ticket on this problem is http://support.sas.com/kb/51/008.html

I added lines listed in the ticket to some sasv9.cfg files but it didn't help. So I'm not sure I'm doing it right. Can you explain what exactly "high-level-qualifier.CONFIG(SITE) data set" means. Have you ever faced this problem before?

are you using an internal user like sasadm@saspw to connect? If so try with a regular user.

Forgot to mention that i was using proc infomaps on a regular basis for a long time but such errors started to appear recently. I use a regular user.

I think it is best to contact Tech Support for this.

I think PROC INFOMAPS relies on some Java underpinnings, so make sure that is still working:

proc javainfo; run;

Assuming that works, try some of the basic techniques here for reporting -- make sure that's all still functioning for you.

Yes, that's the problem.

ERROR: Proc javainfo did not run correctly.

What steps have to be done in order to solve it?

If this is recent, and if your PC was recently updated to Windows 10 Creators edition, it might be this problem. Check that thread for some tests/workarounds.

If it's not that, then you have something else going on with your SAS config and how it points to the Java runtime. Your SAS admin or SAS Tech Support might need to help you troubleshoot.

Thank you very much. I'll contact my SAS administrators.
